hello america!!! please, take a good honest look at the present state of our country & tell me that the majority made a smart choice with their votes...don't sugarcoat it---either we're better off or we're not---there is no middle ground!!!
look, we've always had problems &, we will continue having problems but, at what point do we all sit down & deal with the 'realities of life' instead of the 'how it should be' crap??? when will our elected officials do what's right for the good of our country & quit addressing their own agendas??? when will those with a public voice use that voice to bring us together instead of using it to divide us even further???
as a nation, we are undergoing a fundamental change that is extremely bad for us---we don't know who to trust in our gov't because they've all violated that trust on some level & worse, they lie about it & blame everybody else for it---nobody stands up & admits their mistakes or that they were wrong about forcing their agendas on us...what really frustrates me the most is, we continue to re-elect them knowing that they failed us the first time...correction, some do step forward & offer us a lame-ass apology but, they only do that after they've been caught (&, until they're caught, they deny everything)...
look, let's keep it real---we have white people discussing racism against black people & how blacks should or shouldn't react; we have men discussing abortions & deciding which females should or shouldn't be allowed to get one; we have the wealthy talking about the plight of those south of the national poverty line; we have people complaining about the direction our country is heading & yet, they never vote; we have community leaders complaining about our young people & yet, they don't have much to offer them to constructively occupy their time; we have a community that persecuted a couple for their religious beliefs & refusal to bake a cake for a gay couple & yet, would that same community force a black baker to bake a cake for the kkk; we have the 'powers-that-be' & the courts banning the washington redskins logo & yet, the chicago blackhawks logo never even entered the conversation; we have those that screamed for the removal of the confederate flag & yet, they're so silent in asking man to change his heart; we have those calling for us to leave less of a carbon footprint on mother earth & yet, look at how they travel; we have those telling us how great obamacare is & yet, those same people don't want it for themselves, family or friends (the unions that raised hell in support of it don't even want it); we have those that have sworn to uphold our constitution & yet, they're the ones trying to rewrite it; we have those that want to remove 'christianity' from our lives & yet, not a one of them will tell you which one of the 10 COMMANDMENTS is bad for us; we have those that want unisex public toilets & yet, how would they keep a 'straight man' from entering one occupied by a 'non-straight female'; we have politicians screaming for wage equality & yet, they're still paying their female staffers less; we have those that assist & condone illegal aliens crossing our borders & yet, they say & do nothing for our homeless; we have those telling us how much they support 'women's rights' & yet, they're still doing business with foreign nations that don't believe a woman has any rights;---
WE ARE SERIOUSLY CONFLICTED & DIVIDED AS NEVER BEFORE...
we are not better off nor are we safer...by the way, where are the jobs we were promised???
